The cost of the enviro doesn't bug me, but the cost of the figure does! For $90, I expect a LOT more. This is an awesome $50 - $75 figure. But $90?! $90!!!!!????
As much as I like the set, I'm skipping it and waiting for the Max Rebo band.

I love Greedo, don't get me wrong. And I think they did a bang up job on him.

I am actually a bit disappointed with the cantina set. Atleast they could have given a cardboard backdrop..
Agreed. A backdrop like for the Alien or Don Vito isn't too much to ask for and would make the set up feel much more complete.

I love this figure. I think his skin might be a tad too dark, and his vest a tad too big, but I don't really care. If I'm not happy with the final product, I can paint him a tad lighter and futz his vest some.

Just had to point out how rough the holster and belt look. I know it's just a prototype, but I probably wouldn't have included a close up of it if it was this unfinished. Makes it look like they slapped it together at the last minute.
I'm sure the final piece will be better.

If you buy through a retailer the price will be $81; which is a bit better. And remember; regular versions especially drop in value... so if you don't mind waiting I think you'll have no trouble getting it for less.

It's not a must have character for my collection, so I'll pass I think. Save my pennies for any ESB figures announced this year.

techinically we already pay 10% more by going through SSC to get the item than we do through a retailer then you have to pay $5 more for the ex. I just can't value that little poster at $14.
Re: the environment. Its nothing as huge as it could have been. i guess they tried to keep it cost effective but man we are a long way off from the days of $50 holochess. Wonder what that would have cost these days?
IMO greedo looks pretty good...but is there enough shine on his outfit? I know Hasbro overkilled that, but did SSC get enough satin look?

Shinier? Looks good to me. Probably shinier in hand. There's a lot of light blasting this thing in these pics.
My fear is that the vest won't be orange enough -- that it will come out more brown/tan.

As long as they are able to use the same materials (which doesn't always happen) this should be one hell of a figure. I love the sculpt; so much detail and not ginormous like the Hasbro one

I think we talked about this in the Greedo Life Size bust thread, but as far as I can tell the vest is supposed to be brown. It is brown on the Sideshow bust and the Gentle Giant mini-bust, and appears to be in the movie, from what I can see. I too have it in my head that it should be orange, but I'm not sure why. The only thing I can find in a quick search that actually has it orange is the Kubrick figure. The vintage figure doesn't even have a vest at all.
Anyway, I was sort of impressed that the environment included chairs as well as the table, but they're not particularly accurate and could've been done in plastic for a fraction of the price with no difference in appearance. I think I'll probably get the regular edition of this down the road.

Maybe you guys are getting it mixed up with Ponda Boba's coat? The vintage figure didn't have a vest and the closest thing to orange is the POTF Greedo. Though in some of the close-up shots, there's a vest without pockets that looks orange:
It always struck me as a brown color and material that could look orange depending on the color tint of the image. Even the GG bust looks like a brown with a hint of orange to it.
